Australia needs us.
đŠđș
Thereâs been a lot of confusion around how the fires are impacting our friends Down Under, so we wanted to take a moment to share the latest straight from our trusted partners operating in Australia (which, as a reminder is a vast island country only marginally smaller than the US).
âš
âą 17% of Australia is bushland covering 134 million hectares. Of this, an estimated 11 million hectares have been burnt. This is a little larger in area than the state of Indiana.
âą Only two areas often visited by international visitors have been affected â Kangaroo Island + the Blue Mountains.
âą Sydney, Melbourne + other major cities, Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Great Ocean Road, Winelands, Uluru, the Kimberley + more are unaffected.
đ
This past week, as a part of our #SFcore20 program, our team made a sizable donation to @victoriawildlife to help their efforts in the emergency response. If youâd also like to do the same, some others organizations close to our hearts are @redcrossau, @wireswildliferescue, @salvosau, @foodbankaus, @portmacquariekoalahospital, @wildlifevictoria, @zoosvictoria, @adelaidekoalarescue, @nswrfs, @cfavic, @sa_countryfireservice.

But, above all, the best way we can all help Australia is to keep traveling there. âïž #smartflyerAU
